Hi,
I have set up an environment on my Vista laptop comprising of Apache 2.2,
MySQL Server 5.1 and Php 5.2.5.
I'm using a simple php program that I found in a PHP/SQL book. The PHP
program queries a MySQL table and uses a WHILE loop to traverse the results
array of the query and display on screen. However, there seems to be a
problem with my environment and using a WHILE loop as every time I run the
program I get the error "*Apache HTTP server stopped working and was closed*
".
I have no problems using a FOR loop but every time I use a WHILE loop Apache
seems to crash. Please see below for the code I have used.
I would be extremely for any suggestions of why this is happening and any
solutions offered.
Thanks.
